Lindsay Lohan Will Play 'Deep Throat' Porn Star

Lindsay Lohan is set to play Linda Lovelace, the porn star featured in 1972's infamous 'Deep Throat.' Although the news feels like just another talking point tossed on the gossip pile, LiLo's chum/photographer Tyler Shields is presenting the casting news as hard fact -- no matter how snugly it seems to fit into the
never-
ending LiLo
narrative.
"Shields confirmed to us this weekend that the actress has indeed landed the gig,"
E! Online reports.
The film is an independent venture titled 'Inferno,'
rumored (again, those dang rumors...) to be officially announced at Cannes Film Festival later this month.
Our gut reaction to the role -- particularly after LiLo's
gun-in-mouth, blood-splattered photo shoot with Shields just last week -- is that it has a certain scent of shock value. But in a recent (and oh-so-perfectly-timed)
Pop-ed, one of our suggestions for Lohan to regain her
career mojo was this: Shrug your shoulders and say, "Whaddya gonna do?" And isn't that exactly what this role does for LiLo? She's doing precisely what the tabloids
expect her to do, and in the process, getting back on the silver screen and possibly flipping the gossipmongers on their heads.
Consider: Linda Lovelace "later denounced her pornography career, claimed that she had been forced into it by her sadistic first husband, and for a while became a spokeswoman for the anti-pornography movement" (thanks,
Wiki). Sounds like this seemingly unsurprising role could wind up being something resonant and poignant for Lohan -- a metaphor in art a la Mickey Rourke's hard times and comeback being mirrored in 'The Wrestler.'
Or maybe it's just Lindsay Lohan playing a porn star.

this role suits her better than any role she will ever have.
she wont even have to act. she was born to play this role
all she has to do is rely on what she does all day every day.
go for it lindsay make your father proud
The Lohan 'Train wreck' has hit the end of the line.
Nothing left now, but the inevitable needle and eternity.
A young life that once had potential, wasted away.
Sad

Potential? Oh, please, do TELL...
This is sad on so many levels. What happened to that sweet girl in Parent Trap, and the Disney Movies? I TRULY FEEL SORRY FOR HER. THIS IS WHAT HOLLYWOOD THINKS OF HER.

Now, when they say "Lindsay Lohen sucks", there'll be no denying it!!!
i hope they make it a 3d movie just like avatar
cant wait to see her deep throat some dude.
i will bet the guys wont even want to get paid.
lindsay has the perfect mouth for this
why would anyone make a movie about lovelace? you can buy her porn anyplace porn is sold..
Reply
The reason is because Lovelace wrote a book exposing the reality of the porn industry as she experienced it and how she reclaimed her self-respect.
Can't wait to see it!

I Agree With You. The Only One Who Can Help Lindsley Is God, But Her Heart Has To Be Open To Him, So Let's Pray That She Will Open Up Her Heart To God, Because If She Does, Then Not Only Will She Be Forgiven, But She Will Be With God In Heaven For All Eternity And Just Think Of The Lives She Can Impact As A Lost Child Who Was Found!
what do you mean god can help her
god is going to be standing in the front of the line waiting
for his turn
being deep throated by lindsay lohan is even to much temptation
for god
She could be selling drugs to kids. That's much lower to me... She's using what she has to get the fast money. All the partying and speeding tickets, A lot of those are just cops being "hind parts" She's an adult. Leave her alone. Fine. She's made mistakes. How many of you have done something in their life time that they are not too proud of? Yea, You know that thing you did...
I can't believe some of you - Just TRY to have to live in the spotlight 24/7, papparazzi chasing you EVERYWHERE and basically living your life under a microscope, with the parents that she has, be honest- would YOU do any better???!! Give the girl a break!! If you look at most of the former 'child stars' or read any of their biographys, you just might see what these people go through! 2 examples- Corey Feldman & Macauley Culkin- both were basically exploited by their parents for what they could got out of them- Lindsay is no different- think about it from that point of view.....

Don't do it Lohan, your image is already in the toilet. Pick a better part.

Tru Dat!
Of course she will take this part. It was 1972, the shock value is gone.

Before it gives her the opportunity for more minutes of fame, will someone please remind her that this is a movie that is to be filmed and she does not need to provided personal home movies!

The jokes are too easy!!! Suffice it to say this is a simple case of typecasting. The project will never get off the ground with Linzey Loman involved anyway.
